Gatwick Airport averts some strikes after employees agree deal

From air visitors controllers to floor handlers, many employees throughout the aviation trade in Europe have threatened to go on strike this summer time, forcing airways to delay or cancel flights on the peak of the summer time journey season.

Menzies employees, below a Wizz Air contract, voted in favor of a 13 per cent pay enhance for floor handlers and a 17 per cent enhance for the bottom paid staff, Unite mentioned. In the meantime, ASC employees, below a TUI contract, agreed to a double-digit wage enhance.

About 600 DHL staff working below an EasyJet contract introduced on Monday that their strike at Gatwick over the 2 weekends was known as off after they voted to simply accept a 15 per cent wage enhance. Workers at GGS, which work below British Airways and Vueling, are the one ones left to barter a pay deal, doubtlessly placing an finish to all strikes on the London hub in July and August.
